Luck O' the Seven
Today has finally come to an end. My engines not blown, not bad considering this morning.
At about 7:30 this morning I'm commuting off to that place I call school. For once traffic isn't a problem, I'm not screaming obsecintys (or flashing my lights) at the slow car on Spaulding Drive in front of me. I slowed down for all the school zones; a cross guard give me a freindly wave in passing. My moring was not the usual rush that it always is. Well that didn't last for long.
I am yards away from the parking lot when I hear a hisssssssss.....followed but the sweet aroma of not cappicino or even bacon, but coolant. No not agian. Last winter my heater core went. That was fun coolant vapor all spraying up through the vents...Anyhow, panic began to ensue. I kept loooking at the temp gauge; oh yah that's right the needle NEVER goes more than halfway up, yet I continue to glance. I waited for the over-heat alarm to go off, but that wire had been gounded some time ago due to malfunction. Ha!

oh wait theres more...
Like a mantra I chanted " Just make it to parking space, just make it to a parking space."
To no avail, Sexy Rexy dies in front of the Suck-urity Office at Georgia Perimeter. Yes that was me hood up blocking the way from about 7:45 till....10...30 . Apperently a hose exploed causing the water pump to crap out.
So as I sit and wait for Jerm (missing valuable class time) to bring me a heater hose I notice my car is in the evil miles. Luckily the engine didn't seize!!!
Figures huh??
Hopefully someone gets a laugh outta this./Users/wendyengelhardt/Desktop/DSCN1322.JPG
